Sunday at Roker Pier

[Big Fen]

After another fishless trip to roker pier on friday night(although I had heard a 5LBer had been caught next to the bunker),I decided to use up the bait that the fish didnt eat on another trip today to Roker pier once again.I have seldom seen as many anglers on the pier during a winter session,and as I walked along asking everyone if they'd had any luck I knew i was in for a long day,as everyone replied with the same answer....NOT EVEN A BITE MATE!.I arrived at 10.00am and fished(if you can call it that) until 2.30pm,and guess what not a bite.All the baits were coming back in untouched .Dejected i walked off the pier to see the same blokes still fishing with no luck apart from one guy who had 2 flounders from just behind the breakers.This venue is looking a bit bleak for the Festival next week unless theres a stir up next week.
